    Society is a fully human construct and humans can change it anytime they want. We can create our reality, it doesn’t have to be like this for our children or theirs

    We'd have to agree on the cause of the problem and what those problems are but on of the problem is the people who like things the way they are, the people who benefit the most from the status quo, are sowing confusion about those things are.

    You can see it when opposite participant in the leftright framework agree on what the problem is be have nearly completely opposed causal explanation and solutions to that problem.

    We can tell the billionaire and the mainstream establishment are ducking us, manipulating us, constantly brainhacking us with advertising and addiction grooming us, that they're buying the politics and the politicians are and aspire to be billionaires as well and have aligned their interested with the rich and powerful against us.

    The problem I think IS concentration of information and social power in all its forms, whoever gets the upperhand over all of us should be getting the most scrutiny and not given the space to hide and manipulate us. Power should come with a dispelling of privacy maybe ?

    That's still not even close ...

        Life is a system of cells eating cells until they get bigger so they can eat even more cells: Life is ugly.

            People are exhausted from work and that's what causes them to perceive everything in an ugly light. Because it turns out, when you're not doing well (mentally, emotionally), that skews your perception so everything looks a bit more ugly to you.

              who controls social media, controls the narrative and that makes a big difference. that is why we need community-owned, anarchistic social media alternatives (the fediverse).

                      Birds are the filthy, degenerate hillbilly cousins of dinosaurs that are constantly covered in shit, dirt, blood and disease. Some are less dirty than others, and human garbage introduces new types of filth and disease, but their natural state (like most animals) is disgusting.

                      IMO, many humans are only marginally cleaner than birds. Some definitely have about pigeon-level self-awareness when it comes to the state of their personal hygiene.

                          Cats are a bad example, as they're probably the species that's had the most success because they chose to attach themselves to humans. Dogs didn't choose, we took them in.

                                Ok, I have to back the truck up.

                                I tie-dyed a t-shirt at an employee ‘appreciation’ event last week in the colora of the flag of Rwanda.

                                It was fun.

                                    Let's have it all. All I need is enough free time to design the perfect Lemmy community, then we can organize, then I will try to expand (need my own site because banned from Reddit. A prime example of why a corporation controlling most of the internet is a bad idea. They can just censor any movement before it even starts. Btw, I kind of deserve it, I acted out when I was in shitty mental health, I expected to kill myself anyway)

                                      Let's say we lived in an ideal global society. No inequality, no hatred, no pedo-governments, no war.

                                      • We would still be immersed 24/7 in a corrosive gas that slowly kills us with each breath we take.
                                      • Our bodies would still require constant maintenance trough regular and painful excercise.
                                      • Our bodies would still be ravaged by disease: The cold. The flu. Tooth decay. Anxiety/Depression. Corona. Aging. Cancer. Death.
                                      • Billions of Pigs would still be tortured every day so this ideal society does not have to waiver anything.
                                      • We would still work 9-5 doing necessary but boring stuff like cleaning toilets, assembling devices, maintaining machines, disposing of waste, spraying the fields. Because all those modern ameneties require much more work to produce than happiness they generate.
                                      • We would stilk fear the day when this ideal society collapses, even when this society was actually eternal. Because brains are designed to worry.
                                      • There would still be plenty of disabled people. Physical and mental. They would not be equal, even in an ideal society. Millions of those would be in constant pain, with no cure in sight.

                                      Life is only beautiful to masochists and or sadists.

                                        • There would still be plenty of disabled people. Physical and mental. They would not be equal, even in an ideal society. Millions of those would be in constant pain, with no cure in sight.

                                        Life is only beautiful to masochists and or sadists.

                                        In an ideal society,

                                        1. We would actively try to clean our environment and aggressively implement renewable energy sources in every aspect.
                                        2. If you want to live long, you need to keep your body fit. Exercise is the cheapest amount of effort you need to keep it healthy.
                                        3. Yes, there would still be many incurable diseases but society would be doing the best to find a cure.
                                        4. Torture isn't required to run a pig farm. It happens in a society where profit is the utmost priority instead of rearing and quality. Or maybe developing something like cloning only meat instead of a full organism.
                                        5. An ideal society would implement something like universal basic income or something similar so that everyone can do whatever they like instead of menial labour. Menial labour can be assigned to autonomous systems or robots.
                                        6. Nothing lasts forever. You can't do anything about entropy. You can worry for the inevitable demise or live in the moment.
                                        7. An ideal society would not discriminate anyone on the basis of disability or anyone's misfortunes. There would be extensive therapies, rehabilitations, redresses and in worst case, voluntary euthanasia.

                                        An ideal society would do everything in their power to make it an ideal utopia, so why limit it to some pessimistic depiction even in your imagination.

                                        Life is whatever you perceive it to be. You may have a shitty hand, but it still is yours to play however you want.
